The Research Council of Alberta and the Geological Survey of Canada are the principal agencies involved in the systematic geological mapping of Alberta.
The index does not include maps published prior to 1930 (except the G.S.C. bedrock geology maps ...

Ceramic test data for more than 200 deposits of clays and shales in Alberta resulted largely from early investigations of the Federal Department of Mines (1912-15, 1932) supplemented by more recent work of Alberta Research ...

Low yields, high grit content, or thick overburden reduce the desirability of other deposits.The paucity of glass shards and the mineralogy of the sand and silt fractions suggest rhyodacite as the composition of the parent volcanic ash for each ...

Approximately 850 subsurface brines from Alberta containing more than 20,000 mg/L calcium and more than 3,000 mg/L magnesium were studied to determine their commercial potential.
Knowledge of the regional compositional gradients, hydraulic-head ...

Many geographical areas and geological formations were missed when the ceramic suitability of materials was studied early this century.
Geological formations that are useful for the production of structural clay products or pottery are Pleistocene ...

Subsurface Characterization of the Pembina-Wabamun Acid-Gas Injection Area
If only the natural setting is considered, including geology and flow of formation waters, the basin to local-scale hydrogeological analysis indicates that injecting acid ...
Show Abstract

Bromide contents up to 2786 mg/L were found in high calcium and magnesium brines associated with evaporites in the Upper Devonian Beaverhill Lake Formation and Middle Devonian Elk Point Group.
The most extensive regions of high-iodide formation ...
